Problem 97
Question
Write each algebraic expression without parentheses. $$-(-14 x)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The expression without parentheses is \(14x\).
1Step 1: Identify the operation
The operation here is negative outside the parentheses surrounding -14x. Therefore, the expression is defined as the negation of -14x
2Step 2: Apply the rule for double negatives
In mathematics, two negatives make a positive. Thus, the negation of a negative number will result in a positive number. Therefore, the negation of -14x would be +14x.
